Performance and cost being factors, which do you like better?
-
There's no comparison. 2x the speed, 50% more seats and range. Unless if DC-3 was sold or leased dirt cheap, and even then.
-
DC-3's are great for start-up airlines because they are dirt cheap. But once your established and there are less routes available, its much more efficient to roll with the Martin's. The DC-3's I have make around 75-125K, while Martins could pull in 150-250K for me. I'm currently in the process of getting rid of all my DC-3's in favor of the Martins.
-
Same here.
-
im thinkin about it too. only have 4 dc-3's in service though.
-
To be honest, the Martin 404 can even yield up to 500.000.. most of mine are at 380.000
-
Depends on how many pax are there on the route. If you have less than 2000, I would prefer DC. More than 2500, 4-0-4.
-
To be honest, though the DC-3 in my opinion is decent for this round (though nothing to get too excited over), my list looks like this right now.
Comet
M 4-0-4
ИЛ-12
All three have produced very good yields for me, and even though the Comet looks like it can't do much, that thing is almost like owning 2 M 4-0-4s with it's speed. Well worth the 18 mil.

Comets are my most profitable aircrafts.

how much do you get off them daily?

i just pulled all of my DC-3's out of service and am looking to sell them all off at 50-75% (maybe to a broker who will sell them for something between 75-100%). Anyone interested? :D

ID 5000... Green
-
I removed all of my DC3s in favor or Martin 2-0-2 and 4-0-4 aircraft. I still have my 15 DC3s but I am leasing them out for about 500k and 750k. Because nobody is leasing them, I guess I will just scrap 'em...
-
I've removed all my DC3's and replaced them with Convair 240's, way higher profit :D

You don't need a poll to see what is better.
-
ehm that's just because the DC3 is starting aircraft :?
But yes if you're a starter the DC3 is way better, it's really cheap, but when you've got the money you should really buy the Martin :wink:
-
I don't think that Rankings page shows accurate results- DC-3's will be much more popular as they are given to you for free when you start..
How does a Martin compare to a Convair 240?
-
I replaced my fleet of leased and owned DC-3s (6/4) with 2 Martin 2-0-2s and 3 Martin 4-0-4s...
The DC3s are good on short routes when starting out but they become the bottleneck when it comes to route expansions...
